I just checked and it is kernel 2.2.6, provided as lowram, ide or scsi 
(1.2MB) but I could not find information on what was compiled into it or 
any modules.  It supports 386.  I found a comment that the later XFree 
does not support all the older graphics cards.

Presumably the delilinux kernel already provides parallel port and ppp 
functions but maybe not ethernet or sound.
